Karma

I dread the night

The darkness inspires despondency 

The silence amplifies my pain

My knees kiss the ground

As I find myself once again deep in supplication

The tears flow uninhibited

The bill has come due for my numerous mistakes

Regret has become my daily portion

A bitter pill to swallow in every waking moment

I accept my folly 

I didn't know any better

Lord, please show me the way to atone

Let your mercy find me again

Let my skin feel the sun's rays once more
